Resting without pain



Last night was a bit rough. Micah had quite a bit of pain after his sigmoidoscopy but we gave him a couple doses of Morphine. The morphine coupled with TLC seemed to settle him down. I also got an excuse to sleep cuddled up with him all night long. Today he has done better. He has not acted like he is in pain and has rested in his crib for a couple of hours this afternoon. His stool output has decreased over the past 2 days - it is still alot over 150cc/kg but hopefully with the new meds they have started him on (Sandostatin and Nexium)he will really improve.... My day has continued to improve, he is still pooping massive amounts > 430cc's this 12 hour shift, but he has been awake and alert. He has cooed to me and tried to talk and smile. He hasn't talked in over 1 week. Well, the Cowboy's just lost to the Steeler's - Juan is very excited and I am sad - and I am going to rest.
